POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – Feeding South Florida and Winn-Dixie worked together to provide Pompano Beach residents with assistance, giving away over 500 free turkeys to individuals in need. <\/p>\n
The event, a walk-up and drive through mobile food pantry at Blessings Soup Kitchen on Wednesday, helped people who are struggling financially, especially after the recent government shutdown which ended last week.<\/p>\n
Volunteers loaded bags with top Thanksgiving items onto residents\u2019 trunks. <\/p>\n
\u201cHunger is something that people deal with year-round, but especially during the holidays. We want to make sure that everyone has a warm meal to come home to, especially everything that\u2019s going on in the climate,\u201d said Krista Toussant, the Director of Community Partnerships at Feeding South Florida.<\/p>\n
Toussant added the organization continue helping people even after the government re-opened. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re still in recovery mode with a lot of these people not being able to get back on their feet for another couple of months after a lot of the government shutdown and funding that\u2019s been going around right now. So, it\u2019s just amazing to be able to give a warm meal to the holidays to people in need,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Each free bag that was handed out contained a turkey, stuffing, and vegetables.<\/p>\n
